PARENTS IN THE LEARNING ZONE
There are basic foundations of learning that support continuous development at each point on the learning continuum (from kindergarten through professional achievement). The foundations include attitudes, habits and skills that foster resilience for managing the challenges inherent in the learning process.

Research has shown that parents are a major influence in the attitudes, habits and skills that children develop. The attitudes and beliefs related to learning are given to the children through the words and actions of parents.
